Sony and Nielsen have collaborated on a study to determine the "most impactful televised events" in history . . . and the September 11th attacks came in at #1. The goal of the study was to determine an "Impact Score" to show which events "caused visceral reactions that are embedded in our memories." They figured out how many people watched each event live, asked people if they remembered details about what they saw . . . and asked if they remembered talking about watching it with others.

The list is full of negative stuff, as that stuff sticks with us…but I would like to think of a more positive impactful moment, and I’m shocked that the most impactful TV moment in my eyes didn’t make the cut. What is it you ask?

I know you are think I’m kidding…but I remember watching that as a kid, and that moment made me a wrasslin’ fan for life…pretty impactful if you ask me. What would you put on the list? Here are some of the texts we got:

Watching them tear down the berlin wall

most significant moment on tv, debating with my buddies weather was 4 or 5 hand claps on the theme song for friends -​ the extra testicle

Jerry Lawlers slap to Andy Kauffman on Letterman. From GUMP

There was a 45 secnond up skirt on female audience member during a rikky lake episode. At the moment it was pretty impactful.

We received this email from Jessica…

BJ – did you listen to Steve’s latest podcast? In it he admitted to something so strange, I know you will have a field day with it. He says that he doesn’t want to dispose of Lucy’s last “droppings” to pay tribute to her. I thought that would be a great topic, as my husband still has his dead grandma’s purse in the closet and his dead dog’s brush too. I think it’s weird, but he says that he keeps them in memory of them. I’m sure there are some great stories of Rock-A-Holics that keep stuff as a memento.

So this did lead to some texts about what I am doing…and some suggetstions on what I could do…

Steve: just take a photo of it... That way you can keep the poo, yet not.

Plant a tree in the poo

Dude, Steve..... That sounds like a crappy memorial.

Steve. Get it cast in bronze then you can leave her "dropping" in the yard and it will last forever

Plant something after the droppings decompose.

Use the droppings to grow magic mushrooms

Great idea. My grandmas passing away soon. I'll be sure to ask her for a duece.

He should freeze the duke with nitrisoxside and then spray paint it gold

Jessica’s idea was a great topic this morning: What odd thing do you keep in memory of something? It can be for something living or dead…here are the texts:

I've got my Grandma's, grandpas, moms, and dads glasses. And Grandma was known for her hair, so I have a lock of it as well.

ok so my uncle used to work for a meat packing company and he is gone now. So, I have a freezer in my garage with about 5 packages of steak he brought to me

We have our dead Gerbil in our freezer with our booze. Its fun to offer someone a ice cream bar and whip him out lol Holmes

I saw Toppy at a Hooters watching football. When he left i snagged one of the bones from the chicken wings he was eating as a cool momento

My fathers watch that was on his wrist when he was killed In a car wreck the strap is broken and it stopped on the time of the accident

My friend kept an empty YooHoo bottle, drank by Steve, at a "Peter Parker "show at Capitol Theater in Olympia. She also kept some toilet paper thrown by Sean Nelson of "Harvey Danger" from the same concert.

I have a piece of every rocket or bomb that almost killed me during all my combat trips. It's a big jar of crap built up for the last 10 years

My mom keeps her dogs ashes... It's to the point that she had to hold the small shrine (wich contained the ashes) on her lap for the entire plane ride.

I have all son's baby teeth in my jewelry box. He is 23 now.

A prostetic leg Katie

My dog passed 6 mos ago. I still have her dog bed on the floor next to mine. Just dont have the heart to move it yet. I guess that would make it too real.

I have my dead great grandfather's cowboy boots. He's been for 20 years.
I still have the sweat shirt my buddy got murdered in.

When my dogs pass I keep their collars separate never to be used on another dog. Name tags still attached.

My aunt keeps her birds that die, she freezes them in a chest freezer, there's a reason I don't communicate with her very much!
